100,000 people rally over controversial immigration bill
ABC7 News ^ | 3-10-06 | ABC

Posted on 03/10/2006 1:07:00 PM PST by JustPiper

Chicago police say as many as 100,000 protestors are gathering outside the Chicago Federal Center to voice their concerns about a house bill that would tighten immigration laws. The massive demonstration has blocked many streets in the Loop.

The border security bill would make it illegal to assist any undocumented immigrant. That measure is drawing the attention of numerous groups and lawmakers on both sides of the issue.

Thousands of demonstrators gathered at the Chicago Federal Center to protest the house bill 4437. They believe the bill discriminates against undocumented residents and those who try to help them and it robs them of a chance at the American dream.

That is a big problem and one of the easiest ways to become an illegal alien, since we don't enforce our laws. Can you imagine overstaying your visa in other countries?....You would be in jail.

That's "other" countries. We like our illegals here.

I bet a majority of the protesters were not illegible to vote, or legally there to protest.

Its no conspiracy theory and its being done out in the open. Its not about world government or socialism. Many elites think the future is economic blocs. This hemisphere being one of them. Kind of an EU style setup begining with north america and expanding to include the rest of the hemisphere. It wouldnt be the end of the world or the end of a place called America. In my opinion however a line would have to be drawn and the history of the country would have to be looked at as pre and post integration. It really would be a different country.

Chicago and LA are pretty much gone.

LA is, for sure.

"Mayor MEChA:"

Read about how a pro-communist, ultra radical "MEChista" (an advocate of an independent "Aztlan") named Tony Villar cut his hair, changed his name, put on a tie, and became the mayor of America's second largest city.

The bill, unlike what the last poster said, would make it illegal to purposely shield or hide an illegal alien for the express purpose of keep that illegal from deportation. Dont tell me youd support that.

Reading more and more I see many of them were "imported" not just to Chicago but from over the border

While we might have disagreed a little on the ports debate, I am glad to see we are in agreement on this issue. :-)

They're are doing a fine job of trashing Congressman Tancredo over here:

I doubt these are illegals since they are likely at work. These are college students, the same organizations which organize for every Leftist cause and may be bused in from all over the midwest or country.

Those claiming a huge groundswell against illegals should organize an event as large then I will believe it is as big an issue as some claim.

Unfortunately I was not downtown today so I could see how big this crowd was but I do know 100 grand won't fit into the federal square especially with all the construction going on it in now.

People keep using this 10 million figure for illegals. I'll bet that there are at least 10 million. in California, 10 million in Texas and another 30 million throughout the rest of the country!
